I had my sleeve on May 20th. The first week was hell! I became dehydrated which was taken care of at my 5 day visit post op. I was given 2 bags of IV which made me feel better. At this point I feel much better still struggle with eating, but my weight loss is going as I would have hoped. I started with a 44 pant size now depending on the brand I can wear 36-38

No exact date for me as of yet, but I am hoping for end of October-ish. I am so excited and absolutely cannot wait to join everyone who has had VGS!! I can't wait to post my first success story and NSV. With all that being said......I'm gonna need a buddy too!

Hi Susie. I stop smoking 20 years ago. If you can pass that 20 minutes craving you will be fine. Find a candy sugar free that taste like worth(?) or some with the taste u like. Get up do something Put something in between your fingers , brush your teeth and give a fresh mint taste to it ....20 minutes is how much last. You don't want mess up your stomach. I'm here for you.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
